Info in Movie News | The White Lotus Season 3 is over, and what a season it was, my goodness. It's located in the wonderful places of Thailand, and this time the main theme was a full-tilt murder mystery with even more deaths, more serious and even more chaotic. First a meditation session that was a trigger, later, promptly, this was transformed into one of the most heart-touching and dizzying episodes of the show.
According to Variety, The longest in the series so far was the final episode, Amor Fati, which clocked in at 90 minutes. The eight-episode total of the season provided plenty of content, but some stories were not well-accepted. The Ratliff family drama was too long and a bit too heavy, whereas the complex friendship between Jaclyn, Laurie, and Kate brought some energy and made the atmosphere lighter.
Belinda (Natasha Rothwell) has made a great comeback to the show, and she was last seen in Season 1 when she was ghosted by Tanya. However, this time she was in charge of the situation and managed to steal Greg's (Jon Gries) $5 million. Unfortunately, instead of opening a spa and living happily ever after with a local guy named Pornchai, she has preferred to give up the plan and him. It may be a victory, true, but not without the loss of her old ideals.
Then there’s Gaitok (Tayme Thapthimthong), the formerly peaceful security guard who ends up embracing violence to protect himself, and win over Mook (played by BLACKPINK’s Lalisa Manoban, in a small but memorable role). Meanwhile, Rick (Walton Goggins) had one of the darkest arcs, ultimately killing his long-lost father after years of emotional pain and resentment.
Still, not everything ended in tragedy. Carrie Coon playing the role of Laurie moved audiences with a moving and heartwarming speech about forgiveness and moving forward graciously. “I’m just happy to be at the table,” she said. In a world as cynical as The White Lotus, that moment hit surprisingly hard.
This season might not have been the tightest, but it delivered on the show’s signature mix of satire, social commentary, and emotional gut punches. And once again, it reminded us: no one really escapes paradise unscathed.
